2025 Mustang Mach-E Rally | The Focus RS of EVs

[@bazilhyder]

I'm a college student and rented a Mach-E out for the day to do some errands with a friend. The center infotainment display completely turned off in the middle of my trip. It would be blank and not let me do anything besides register tap sounds. I tried restarting and other troubleshooting tips to no avail. It was one of the most scary and eye-opening experiences for not having physical buttons in a car and being so reliant on a display for essential car functions.

If you don't have a heat pump and battery preconditioning and you live/drive in areas that regularly get below 40 it's 150% a non-starter.

[@thatoneotherotherguy]

I think it made sense at the time. They started selling these, what, 4+ years ago? Heat pumps are more abundant and cheaper now, and the tech has been rapidly improving. IIRC, lots of the 2021 era EVs did not have heat pumps standard, some brands were skipping them for RWD trims, etc.

[@james2042]

@@thatoneotherotherguy Its just running the AC in reverse. That's all a heatpump is. Theres no "tech rapidly improving" and no "cheaper and abundant" its simply them not caring until sales in colder climates are lower than expected so now they can sell it to investors as a solution.

As a new yorker, any ev without a heat pump is a paperweight 60% of the year. Its a slight modification to the air conditioning system to run it in reverse, that's it. No separate assembly is needed, its not like it takes up more space under the hood, it cost them like probably 20 dollars a car, and it would double their sales in cold climates. Any automaker making an EV without a heat pump that has AC should be barred from the US over energy consumption concerns. Resistive heating elements absolutely guzzle electricity. My old ioniq used to go from 220 miles to 120 miles when the heater was on, it was crazy how much power the heat used.

[@rusticroads]

EVs are so tech-heavy that leases seem to be the best way to go. Depreciation of all but the most utilitarian vehicles is in flux, and I see a lease as a way to guarantee the parameters of the deal. Even though I do not trade cars every 2-3 years (my vehicles are 9 and 29 years old) and I've never leased in my life, I'm trying to learn as much about leases as possible. In 3 years, the technology in most EVs is going to be very outmoded. Will it work? Sure. But the pace of advancements means that things will be MUCH different than they are today. So that means that making a lease deal where you can choose the mileage and lease length parameters and lock in your trade-in value now allows the market to mature for the next 2-3 years, which is a lifetime in technology terms. Cars are increasingly technology on wheels, and that's not going to change any time soon. Imagine holding on to your phone without swapping it out for 6-8 years, much less 9-29...

[@mdd47]

My cousin is leasing a Lightning....for $220 a month. He says it costs him around $60 in electricity a month. If you're just going to turn your car in at the end of the lease and get another lease, it makes a ton of sense.

Amount of regen is controlled by drive mode. Most regen in Unbridle (Sport), least regen in Whisper (Comfort), and Engage (Normal) is somewhere in-between. Full 1PD and auto-hold are both optional in all drive modes.

I'm pretty happy Jim Farley mentionned “We have to start to get back in love with smaller vehicles.” That's music to my ears. Part of me wants this Mach-E but in the body of a Ford Focus wagon (rear drive-bias and all) but that gigantic screen needs to go. Heck I'll even take a 1998 Focus interior, but I've heard many great things about how well the Mach-E drives. As for the battery and its range & power density, I'd be good with an even smaller battery for what I do if it can get the weight down, but for most people, and Americans who seem to really need that 500km of range, Ford needs to do a better job.

I own a 2018 Focus ST-3. Even when it tries to kill me with snap-throttle oversteer, I like the car a lot. it is small, crude, noisy, has over damped shocks that makes highway driving a jarring experience. That being said, it wins in the smiles-per-mile contest, and I do NOT see that with this Mach-E. As a side note, it is the most reliable car I have owned. The only issue in 83k miles was a very minor leak from the clutch system's slave cylinder. The rest has been oil, wiper blades, and tire changes. I even used it as a "moving truck". It was nothing short of amazing at how much you can stuff in the back of it. Anyway, another excellent review.

[@thatoneotherotherguy]

Wouldn't buy this trim, but it's nice to see that the Mach E is continuing to slowly get better with yearly updates and price drops. Heat pump is a must for owning in a very cold climate; moving heat is much more efficient than generating heat.

Still shit though

[@markcoopers1930]

Could very well be. And the choice of name was silly. But I haven't driven one so I'm not going to claim the vehicle performs either way. And I've already spent enough time and energy being surprised and or vexed about the name, I'm not going to waste any more. I am impressed at least with what I'm seeing when it comes to the actual rally upgrades they did though. And it's not like Ford has a rally Escape ST or Rally Mustang. And the Focus has been gone for ages

When I hear the words Ford Mustang, there is no way in hell that I think of an EV. Not a change. Not today, tomorrow or ever.

[@jerkychew899]

This car seems awesome, and I'm a big Ford fanboy, but after seeing the Ioniq 5 N's fake noise and shifts no other EV can compare. I hope Ford can get a big pack of nerds together to reproduce Hyundai's master stroke and quickly, but as it stands now the Ioniq N is a more engaging, fun car... Even at twice the monthly lease price.

[@atmartens]

I think it’s a cool trim, but nothing until a new generation will fix the major issues. It’s worth its value as MSRP, but worth maybe doing a lease. I can’t stand the main center screen personally. I also wish Ford called it a Thunderbird and not a Mustang.

[@BarnStangz]

Wish it came in McRib sauce red.

If driven in anger, how long does the battery last? Can it do 80 miles?

[@dskeet1594]

I"m just glad they didn't slap RS badges on it

Those wheels seem a bit familiar, like N Vision 74 familiar

I think Ford dropped the ball on naming this a Mustang. They should have used the Fusion name instead.

[@rxibot]

I wouldn't buy any Ford vehicle all right. I made the mistake and purchased my Ford. I didn't know to lease. By purchasing my vehicle my truck that has less than 10,000 mi on it now lost over $30,000 in depreciation as soon as I took it off the lot. So if you do get electric vehicle lease it first! And really look to buy a used one. Otherwise just stick with regular ice vehicles. They don't lose that much We should be illegal what is going on but it's not.

You can hear the clunks over the bumps through the camera. It's louder than my EV6 with a folding bike bouncing around in the back.

Don’t listen to them and drive one and experience it for yourself. They’re gonna tell you 10 reasons why your favorite cheese pizza tastes so bad after you been eating it for 3 years. But obviously you should never base a major purchase decision on a KZbin video.

Those are not all-terrain tires; they are all-weather tires, the best on the market. They are best for snow and great for mileage, with minimal cabin noise.

[@mc116]

Man I wish my 2023 Mach-E premium trim got those...I got the very average Michelin Primacy all seasons lol. The plan is to switch to the crossclimate 2s when I destroy the OEM tires.

Mark still riding the yacht rock wave lol, that was a good documentary though

[@jackholmes8105]

I will always ride that wave in the pursuit of smooth grooves.

[@SilliusSodus]

The E-Rally unfortunately looks cool

[@sappyjohnson]

Best looking common EV.

[@svn5994]

Not even close.

[@ThePilotGear]

well...eh, subjective. In my books the Polestar 2 looks pretty good and classy & the Ioniq 5 is one of the most interesting looking EVs. The EV6 and Ioniq6 are good looking too, as is the refreshed Tesla Model 3, but the Mach-E to me is a babyboomer mobile. It's one of the ugliest, but that's just me of course.

[@sappyjohnson]

@ThePilotGear I don't care what you think. That's just me.
